This famous collection of inspiring thoughts conveys the spiritual and ethical richness of the Jewish faith. Offering prose and poetry culled from the great Jewish sages, philosophers, Biblical commentators and many others. A BOOK OF JEWISH THOUGHTS provides provocative reading to both Jew and Non-Jew alike.

"Pirke Aboth" consists of paragraphs on ethical maxims attributed to 65 teachers, Tannaim, covering a period of about two centuries B.C.E. and two centuries C.E. The form and sentiment of these sayings are of such charm and force, that they found their way to the Jewish heart, as no other writing ever has. It is now included in the prayer book, and has been so since the eleventh century. It became a custom to read a chapter on Sabbath afternoons, after the Minhah service, during the summer months. Saul Raskin's beautiful works of art accompany the Hebrew and Yiddish with the English translations.

Young Peony is sold into a rich Chinese household as a bondmaid-an awkward role in which she is more than a servant, but less than a daughter. As she grows into a lovely, provocative young woman, Peony falls in love with the family's only son. However, tradition forbids them to wed. How she resolves her love for him and her devotion to her adoptive family unfolds in this profound tale, based on true events in China over a century ago.

Much has been written about the political, historical, economic and military aspects of Israel and the Middle East. This book deals with ideas. It portrays the key figures, major concepts and crucial events in their confluence as they relate to the ideals that inspired the founding of Israel. Scholarly without being pedantic, the book offers an insight into the making of the modern Jew in Israel and his counterpart throughout the world. It also helps in the understanding of why a State with so little geography and short history should have so many friends and so many enemies.

Danziger's biographical sketches of the primary figures in the ancient rabbinic Judaism continue to hold value and interest for today's readers. Written in engaging narrative style, these essays were among the earliest studies in America to reflect the traditions of German Jewish historical scholarship applied to the formative period of Judaism. His notes reflect a sound reading of Jewish sources. In particular, his chapters on Hillel, Akiva and Judah ha-Nasi illuminate how their sharpness of mind and strength of purpose forged the tools for Jewish survival during the next millennia.

"High Priest of Rebirth" expands the horizons of mystical energy to include the vast divergent fields of science and culture in the modern world. Rabbi Kuk continues to insist on peculiar transcendence of Torah, but the range of the holy, for him, embraces the spheres of human culture and science. To secular life, he adds the feeling of compatibility of all ideals and their metaphysical unity. To religious life, he adds the sense of participating in the "perfection of the world" (shichlul haolam).

The subtitle of "The City Without Jews," A Novel of our Time," remains unfortunately true. Bettauer takes as his subject one of the oldest themes in Jewish history: exile. Exile appears constantly in Jewish literature and history. Written in 1923, the author imagines that anti-Semitism leads Austria to expel all Jews. He describes the expulsion, but does not linger over the suffering, humiliation, and trauma such expulsions have historically caused. Families may be split, and lovers torn from each other, proprietors may be forced to sell their businesses at ridiculously low prices, but Bettauer is less concerned with what happens to any one individual than with taking an idea and carrying to its ultimate conclusion no matter how ridiculous it may seem. This is very much a novel of ideas, not of character. One of the ideas is that the consequences of expulsion are as bad or worse for the country which throws out its Jews as they are for the Jews themselves.

The Talmud, that monumental composition of Jewish law and lore filling twelve folio volumes, is the evolutionary product of compilation that spans about eight centuries. Replete with observations, ethical maxims, beautiful legends, and exegetical explanations, this remarkable work has exerted a powerful influence on Jewish thought through the ages. 'Introduction to the Talmud," considered one of the most comprehensive work of its kind in English, is designed to facilitate the study of an exceedingly intricate subject. Here, in scholarly yet readable form, is an historical and literary introduction to the Talmud and an examination of its component parts, legal hermeneutics, terminology and methodology. This edition is further enhanced by biographical material on commentators, chronological tables, glossaries and indices which will prove helpful even to those already familiar with the "sea of the Talmud."

It is unusual if not unique for an established Catholic Priest to forsake Christianity and convert to Judaism. "So Strange My Path" reveals the inside story of the former Father Kenneth Cox who embarked upon a dramatic spiritual journey to the Jewish faith. The author, Abraham Carmel, vividly describes his agonizing period of doubt, his courage and conviction to deny his former religion, and the many obstacles he had to overcome in order to achieve his spiritual goal. After five years of probation and intensive study, Mr. Carmel was received by the London Beth Din (Court of the Chief Rabbi) as a proselyte. An observant Jew, Abraham Carmel personified the rare rabbinic type of a Ger Tzedek - the proselyte of righteousness - who is admitted into the Jewish faith because of a sincere desire to adopt Jewish values and ideals.

Bowman presents the sources with a critical historical introduction for the rediscovery of Balkan and Aegean Jewry from the Fourth Crusade to the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople. The book traces the fortunes of Greek Jews, their contact with co-religionists from Spain, Italy, the Crimea and their interaction with the variegated local populations and endemic conquerors of the region. From the beginning of the 13th century to the 16th century with special chapters on intellectual life, rabbinic interests, mysticism, Greek culture and the social and economic dimension.

A new translation in modern idiom of the Book of Ecclesiastes with an exciting story illustrating each verse forms the uniqueness of this book. The reason for this new and original translation into clear and contemporary English was to remove the language barrier of archaic biblical prose. The second dramatic innovation of this book is that each verse is explained and illuminated by a parable or a fable. In this book you will find a rich and fascinating collection of parables, fables and stories covering a period of three thousand years. They range from the earliest classical sources to those of present day. Each verse and its story is a self contained unit of reading matter. The author asserts that the book teaches "there is something positive and affirmative in life. Man has a duty to face up to its problems. In search for purpose man will find the purpose of his search."

Rabbi Levi ben Gersom was one of the foremost Jewish philosophers of the Middle Ages. His work, "The Wars of the Lord," is still studied with interest, not only for its own sake, but also for the influence it exerted on the thinking of Spinoza. In his commentary on Job, Rabbi Levi explains the difficulties of individual passages, and how the argument between Job and his friends develops. The Book of Job deals, primarily, with the problem of injustice in this world, namely, why the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer. This lead of course, to the greater problem of Divine Providence in this world, which in turn is connected with the question of God's omniscience and prescience of events and happenings in this world, as well as with the discussion of the nature of the human soul which is affected by the events an occurrences.

Worship and Ethics not only describes certain key forms of Jewish worship and the character of Jewish ethics, but also demonstrates that in rabbinic Judaism worship has ethical concomitants. The individual and society are not two entities distinct from each other, for it is society which makes the experience of the individual possible. And, in the author's words, "We regard ethics not as a system thought out by a philosopher but as a pattern of concepts developed by society." In rabbinic Judaism, complex society is thought of as organic, maintaining stability while allowing full scope to individual personalities. This is made possible by supplying a pattern of common value concepts, represented by such conceptual terms as God's love, Torah, charity, and repentance, all of which are elements of a basic vocabulary. Both worship and ethics are shown to be governed by Halakah-Jewish law. In the merging of these two spheres the "normal mystical" experience of God is achieved, a religious experience available to the common man and woman.

Who Crucified Jesus and The impact of the Crucification on Christian civilization, world history and the Jewish people. Over the centuries, this controversial question has troubled the world and has been a source of dispute and debate. And, throughout the ages, the Jewish people, unjustly accused of deicide, has carried the burden of the Crucifixion. Dr. Zeitlin refutes this accusation with authoritative and well documented arguments. In a lucid, objective presentation of legal and historical evidence, this illuminating book makes it clear that the Jews were not responsible for the death of Jesus. The crucifixion is discussed in terms of its centrality in Christian civilization, its meaning for world history, and its impact on the Jewish people.

The Book of Proverbs which most uniquely represents all characteristics of "The Wisdom Literature" in the Bible is here presented for the first time in two categories: 1) The Proverbs are arranged by topic, 2) The complex text of The Book of Proverbs, is offered in a new and modern translation with a resume preceding each chapter. The message of the book is emplified by its chapter headings: On Man Himself, On Man and Man, On Man and God, and Selected Quatrains in Modern Idiom.

This book is a Jews for Judaism guide, written primarily to counteract the missionary's thrust directed at the Jew. It is aimed at the mind and heart of Jews who have an interest in or an attraction to Christianity. Jews needing help when sadly confronted with a loved one who would desert his or her heritage will find this work filled with treasure. In addition, devoted Jews and, indeed, non-Jews who are curious about Judaism's answers will fiind these pages fascinating. EXPOSED ARE THE ERRORS OF THE MISSIONARIES THATARE HEAPED UPON UNINFORMED JEWS, AND STRENGTHENED ARE THE FOUNDATIONS BLOCKS OF JUDAISM GIVEN US BY GOD. Judaism's eternal sacredness is revealed using passages from both Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. The holy quotations presented prove that a Jew's conversion to Christianity cannot be justified to himself or to God.

In the great body of Jewish literature there are many fascinating and enormously provocative statements and references which are either prophetically prochronistic - far ahead of their times - or indicate the possession of undreamed of knowledge. This is a collection of the strange and unusual from thirty-five centuries of Jewish thought, theological only insofar as religious significance permeates every phase of Jewish life. The sources include THE TORAH, the Written Law, God's Word to Moses on Mt. Sinai; THE MISHNAH, the Oral Law and teachings transmitted to Moses on Mt. Sinai; THE TALMUD, commentary which accumulated around the Mishnah; THE MIDRASHIM, literary works, some of them quite ancient, of scriptural interpretation; and other authentic authoritative sources.

A stirring testimonial of Jewish commitment by a French intellectual who briefly abandoned his ancestral faith, only to return to a positive, renewed Jewish identity. A classic work first published in 1927. This classic should be read by all Jews, especially those preparing for their B'nai Mitzvah or studying for conversion. "I am a Jew because in all places where there are tears and suffering, the Jew weeps...I am a Jew because..."

This book is not a tome of detailed Jewish law. It is an interesting, straightforward account of the ritual, background and beliefs of the Jewish milestones of life. This is a manual for anyone who seeks a better understanding of Jewish life and thought. It blends together Jewish law with a modern, but traditional explanation. Designed for the layman, this book has been written for the many men and women who truly desire to understand the background, history and abiding concepts found in the way Jews observe the rites marking milestones in their lives

A comprehensive review of the Five Books of Moses with selected notes from the Classical Commentaries. Here at last is a much needed volume that will serve as an indispensable aid for those who wish to acquaint themselves with the grandeur of the Bible and the teachings of the Prophets. The author has presented in clear and concise language: a faithful review of each weekly Torah reading, a synopsis of each prophetic section and a liberal selection from the classical commentaries. Each chapter is complete and exhaustive review of the weekly Torah section. Great personalities emerge as human beings. Their messages are no longer camouflaged by the 'thee's and thou's" of complicated and antiquated English translations. A short chapter/synopsis for each Torah portion allows the reader to familiarize or re-acquaint themselves with that weeks parsha.

The poet, Lisitzky, gives us some explanation of his humble silence in this autobiography. Rich in sadness and beauty, Lisitzky limns with great artistry his wretched youth, and sketches somber portraits of orphan hood, poverty and melancholy. With a kind of lustful glee and self inflicted pain of a person shedding the burden of many years that has subdued his tongue and pen, he bares the dark sides of his soul, the sense of inferiority deeply rooted in him since early youth because of his humble origins, even as he tells of the ambition to elevate himself which he harbored in his heart, to blot out his "disgrace." He describes the humiliations and setbacks that from the start imbued him with a wrath and desperation which remained with him until, at the age of sixteen, he left his town in White Russia to find refuge in the land of his father's sojourning, the United States. These childhood impressions which Lisitzky described so well when he grew to maturity gave a dark tinge to his poetry, which fisrt blossomed in a remote Canadian village, and which has since flowered and grown profusely. Lisitzky's poetry is wide in range, diverse in form. It includes lyrical meditation, odes and sonnets, a massive lyrical drama, narratives of Jewish and general content, an epic of American Indian lore and a variety of Negro spirituals.

In the shadows of the Russian ghetto a young poet, Hayyim Nahman Bialik, appeared, who was destined to become the lyrical voice of his people. He led the Hebrew literary renaissance, bringing vigor and modernity to the ancient language and reasserting its continuity throughout the ages. His epic poem, "The City of Slaughter" has poignant relevancy to the unforgettable catastrophe that overwhelmed our people, and his "Talmud-Student" symbolize the age long devotion of Jews to learning and tradition. His lyrics of hope take on added meaning when read in the light of the establishment of the state of Israel.

No-one Ever Promised Us Tomorrow... Let Go, My Love is unique in its overwhelming directness and honesty. This powerful book draws the reader into a tidal wave of emotion. Mrs. Hellman confronted her tragedy head on...and emerged with a renewed appreciation for life and an inner strength to meet its challenges. It is a sensitive prose poem...the stream of consciousness of one woman's struggle to overcome desolation after the loss of the man she loved. Anyone who has loved and lost will find comfort and hope in this moving personal statement.

In 1886, when the first Jewish property owner took title to his parcel of land in the then village of Brownsville, the area was a cluster of cottages and tiny shops in the midst of dairy farmlands. Woods covered what were to become the main thoroughfares of Pitkin and Hopkinson Avenues. Less than forty years later, Brownsville was a tumultuous, thoroughly urban center some 400,000 people-75% of them Jewish. Brownsville in 1925 was the largest center of Jewish population in all of New York City - larger even than the Lower East Side of Manhattan, from which many of its inhabitants had come in the search for a cleaner, healthier, more spacious living. Here now is the story of that teeming, colorful, close-knit community, known at its height as "the Jerusalem of America."

"Signs in Judaism" offers material and instruction on Judaic related subjects that aids the deaf and impaired individuals who missed their "Sunday School" training. These subjects include Biblical, historical, cultural, religious and educational areas. This volume fills the void for the long-awaited resource book of Jewish signs for the Jewish deaf community. This community is made up of Jewish deaf and hearing impaired children and adults; interpreters; rabbis; teachers and parents. The signs are based on American Sign Language in Judaic concepts.

This noted work is the first comprehensive treatise on the subject - and indeed on the history of religious medical ethics in general. Tracing the development of Jewish and other religious views on medico-moral problems from antiquity to present day, it is profusely annotated by references to the original sources in religious, medical, legal and historical literature. The subjects treated include abortion, artificial insemination, birth control, euthanasia, autopsies, eugenics, sterilization, the treatment of patients on the Sabbath and the attitude to faith healing and irrational medical beliefs. Several chapters are devoted to the physician in Jewish religious law - his studies and privileges, his license and legal responsibilities, his professional charges and the admission of his evidence. Originally published in 1959 this edition was revised in 1975 with recent developments in Jewish medical ethics which traces the evolution of Jewish law, as revealed in rabbinical judgments and discussions, through the on-going process of applying timeless principles and precedents to the changing social and scientific conditions of the times. A resourceful reference this historical work is not only a source, but a guide for many students, scholars and rabbis who are constantly questioning, researching and re-evaluating these ethics in the ever changing society in which we live.

This is a collection of memorial lectures delivered by Rabbi Weinberg. The author's goal was to present to his congregants and readers a fundamental understanding and appreciation of many of the topics of contemporary Judaism. Prominently discussed are such themes as Israel and its implications regarding the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, the Jewish concepts of conversion, confession, marriage, prophesy and dreams. The text also delves into the philosophical foundations of human relations and prayer, searching for the common denominator which marks the Jewish faith as a "beacon of light" to humanity.

Born in Odessa, Abraham T'homi lived through the Russian revolution. As a youth he joined the Hehalutz, the pioneering arm of the Zionist movement. T'homi was instrumental in organizing the first underground escape operation for Jews seeking to flee from the Soviet Union to Palestine. Arriving there himself in 1923, he joined a commune and became a member of the Haganah, the Jewish self-defense movement. In 1931 T'homi left the Haganah as a result of differences with David Ben Gurion and created the National Military Organization, later to become famous as the Irgun Zvai Leumi.

Jews have been honored throughout the ages for their exemplary behavior regarding the living. Even more extraordinary, has been their universal habit of compassion toward the dead. In his groundbreaking book, Rabbi Spiro considers traditional Jewish customs of mourning from a uniquely psychological point of view. His in depth analyses cover periods from biblical, Talmudic, medieval, all the way through to modern times. By focusing on recognizable psychological struggles such as anxiety, ambivalence and guilt, he sheds new light upon the meaning of rituals like Shiva - "the week of mourning." Though the book deals with a subject that has been called "the last taboo," its focus is on the living, providing life-enhancing guideposts for rabbis and religious leaders of ALL faiths as well as positive help for anyone who has ever found themselves in the position of comforting the bereaved.

It is Spring, 1945. For Europe, the last rattles of the most destructive war ever. Amid idyllic surroundings in southern Bavaria, a small but growing band of labor and extermination camp survivors begins the terrifying journey of the dead back to life. It soon becomes clear that, for some, the nightmare will never end. A few cannot bear a single ray of the new light and extinguish themselves in a kind of agony of the soul, but there are hundreds who hang onto life or grasp at it with astonishing courage. We watch as gradually, hesitantly, these human wrecks begin to put the horror of the camps behind them to become unique individuals again. For these survivors Feldafing is a limbo, an alien halfway house somewhere between hell and a mysterious future. Simon Schochet remembers and through his anonymous narrator reconstructs with subtle understatement and profound insight the numbness of this limbo, the tentative return of humor, the slow and stumbling growth of trust and love.

A very limited edition still available. Each copy, autographed by the author, is not a book about aging or anti-aging. It is a book about growing older (growing up), which we all do from the moment we are born, and which is very different from growing old (growing down). The author proposes nine pointers to guide us on the way, and she coins a new word - SAGING - that expresses the joy of growing older and wiser. This is a book of common sense and uncommon sense. Joan Z. Shore reaffirms many of our cherished values, and at the same time she challenges many of our preconceived notions. It's a book for all ages, reminding us that growing older really means we're growing. /Deepak Chopra, Author, "How to Know God."

A K.G.B Colonel's secret diary reveals the Soviet massacre of Polish prisoners in the Katyn Forest. A full accounting of the awesome and maligant use of power by the Soviet Union from a man who endured the destruction of his family, his community, and his religious faith during the brutal Nazi occupation of Poland. Shainberg candidly describes the inner workings of the Polish-Soviet wartime regime and of the unreported details of the infamous Katyn Forest Massacre. Taken directly from the secret diary of Shainberg's commanding officer, Soviet Colonel Gregory Zaitev, which without doubt documents Soviet complicity in the tragic event, Shainberg reveals, in all its minute horror, the torture and death of the Polish officers imprisoned by the Russians at Katyn during WWII. The diary gives us a searing, personal picture of the KGB Colonel's sexual and political exploits.

The Seixas-Kursheedt family is remarkable in the annals of American Jewish History for having provided American Jewry with spiritual guidance and enrichment from the Revolutionary War well into the nineteenth century. As a tightly knit family, the Seixas-Kursheedts played a crucial role in integrating Jews into the fabric of America. The family patriarch Gershom Mendes Seixas was a Revolutionary War patriot, hazzan of New York's oldest congregation, Shearith Israel, and American Jewry's official ambassador to the Gentile community. Gershom was one of thirteen ministers invited to George Washington's first inauguration. His son-in-law, Israel Baer Kursheedt, had more Jewish learning than any Jew who came before him to these shores. For decades, Israel Baer functioned as New York's unofficial chakam (sage) on matters pertaining to Jewish law. Israel Baer's son Gershom wa in many ways the fulfillment of the family's dream of carrying on its traditions. As leading architect of New Orleans' Jewish community, Gershom Kursheedt persuaded Judah Touro to become America's first major Jewish philanthropist. Rounding out the picture of a truly remarkable family is Gershom Mendes Seixas son David, a pioneer educator of the deaf in this country and a victim of anti-Semitism.
